are you SURE that she is a she? It almost sounds like a male, with that behavior. I don't know much about hognoses, but had a male cornsnake that was mis-sexed.

Until "she" lays eggs you can never be 100% sure that a snake is female based on probing and visual sexing. It is certainly a possibility that she is a he so I wouldn't discount it.

My big hog is a male also. Check out the pic a few threads back. Just looking visually, you would think a female, but looking at the tails, the concensus is male. I can't seem to get him insync with the girls though. When he is interested they are not and vice versa. Such is life.....good luck though.
